in conjunction with the president of the united states. the president of the juice going to make a budget recommendation to the congress in just a matter of a few day, almost a week or so. that's a job of a president, to make a recommendation to the congress what he thinks our budget should be and its a up to the congress then to decide how to deal with that. we've used the regular order through health care. we cut budget deficits by a large amount. as i indicated, it worked. i think that we should just be courageous enough as members of congress to do what's right, step up and do what we have to do. if we don't do the job, probably our voters will get somebody else to do the job. that's their -- that's their right. that's their privilege. mr. president, i strongly urge the defeat of the conrad-gregg amendment. it's just not a good thing to do. i yield the floor. a senator: mr. president? the presiding officer: the senator from delaware. mr. kaufman: mr. president, i ask to speak as if in morning business for up to 14 minutes. the presidin
